Trump Presidency

[chew-ie]

So not a happy bunny.

More like a certain duck. An angry duck.

[Falcrack]

I'm curious as to what Observe thinks of RFK Jr. now, and whom he plans to vote for now that Kennedy is out and endorsed Trump.

[felter]

He is not having a good time of it right now, even all the right wing media want little to do with him and are dropping him early during all of his rants, it's funny to watch but also sad at the same time I still think he is going to have some kind of breakdown before the election let alone after it if he loses, which it pretty much looks like he will if it keeps going the way it is.

Been seeing a lot of Republicans saying things like, why can't our convention be like the DNC, I say because your party is run by insane fascist misogynist bigots that run on a campaign of fear hatred and anger which is the exact opposite of fun. Even the Fox reporters at the end of the DNC said it's been a great week, the DNC event blew them all away.

[matthewfarmery]

Trump wil have another meltdown because

The final night of the DNC averaged 26.2 million viewers across 15 networks, with Harris’ speech bringing in 28.9 million viewers, according to industry research firm Nielsen.

I don't think the RNC event wasn't even close to that. Something like a 22% difference. Trump will throw another fit once he hears that.

Trump trying hard to rebrand himself on abortion rights

“Donald Trump, who recently said he has ‘no regrets’ about appointing the Supreme Court supermajority that overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling on abortion rights, declared on social media on Friday that his administration will be ‘great’ for women’s ‘reproductive rights,’” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Trump’s use of the specific phrase ‘reproductive rights’ — the language used by abortion-rights advocates — appeared to be an effort by the former president to refashion himself as essentially supportive of abortion rights and as a political moderate on an issue that has the potential to be damaging to him in November.”

This guy is flip flopping all over the place. first its one thing, then after the outrage of of the supreme court overturn, he now saying another. I would love to see the ABC mods challenge him on this, and whatever gibberish that spews out of his mouth. It will make him look like a fool. *but of course he is one already) That another other important topics.

I'm still thinking he will back out of the debate at the last second.

[Vertigo 7]

He's just saying whatever he can to win people over. His actual plan is laid out in project 2025.

[matthewfarmery]

Indeed, Just words that no one should believe. This and project 2025 also needs to be brought up during the debate.

I read an interesting theory online. Now that RFK is endorsing Trump, maybe Trump could switch Vance out and have RFK for VP? That will likely get challenged in court, and Trump might lose. But then, Trump might say, if Harris could be switched for president nomination, why can't I switch Vance and then claim that Harris switch is also illegal.

wouldn't surprise me if Vance gets dumped for RFK. Also it has to be noted that the family of JFK aren't happy with RFK, and they now feel betrayed.

[matthewfarmery]

Looks like Trump is laying the ground work for skipping the ABC debate, he blasted the network on Sunday, even hinted that he might not do the debate.

I think the chances of him skipping the debate now is really high, and if he does skip it, it will really make him into a coward and a fool. On top of what he already is.

Edit,

Harris is going up a gear, she will be doing a few tours from here to the debate event. She also going to do an interview, but I can't find any details on that. So it looks like she is ramping things up, and Trump is also trying to ramp things up to counter this, but I don't seem him working as well.

Interesting, on Fox very recently, RFK has said, that Trump didn't offer him a cabinet spot, Also, Trump now saying that Musk probably won't get a cabinet spot either.

Edit 2

Seems thast there is a dispute brewing over the mics, Harris team doesn't want the mics to be muted, while Trump's team does. I think the reason why Trump's team want muted mics, is because they know Trump won't behave himself for 90 minutes. So they are insisting that the mics are muted when someone isn't talking. Harris team clearly wants to show that Trump is an imbecile in front of the US audience and the world.

[felter]

I can't believe this is real. It made me laugh, well at least giggle. While it would probably make a better President than the OG version.

[matthewfarmery]

I can't believe this is real. It made me laugh, well at least giggle. While it would probably make a better President than the OG version.

I admit I did giggle.

So, Abortion is on the ballot in Florida this coming November, When asked about it, The Guy who bragged about overturning Roe VS Wade ruling, well when asked about Amendment 4, and how will he vote, Well he dodged the question, and said, he will announce something soon. He is spooked. Maybe Harris could flip this state? I read reports, she is within striking distance.

Also in other news, RFK had hoped that he will get his named removed from state ballots, to help Trump, well, that idea has backfired, As some states are saying, its too late to get his name removed. RFK Jr. will remain on the ballot in Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina & Wisconsin.


Also, Trump is also selling new trading cards LOL, And the share price of his social media platform is going down, already hit its lowest level since it first started trading. I hope it continues to drop. Also some have started to sell their shares. So that will only help it to go down farther. Hope it will be worthless by the time Trump sells his.

And looks like both parties have agreed on the debate rules, But still If the guy shows up or not, remains unknown. From reports, he not really doing much to prepare, so his handlers have put on adds around the Palm's Beach area to cheer him up LOL, as he mostly playing golf and watching TV.

[matthewfarmery]

I have to post this too, Trump recently visited Arlington National Cemetery for a photo op, but it didn't go quite as planned. For starters, there was a confrontation between some of Trump's staff and some of the staff Arlington National Cemetery, who didn't want them being there. (Plus it also against federal law to take pictures there) (But we know that he is currently above the law)

So a complaint has been filed. And while two of the families of some of the service people gave their permission for Trump to being there and have a photo op, (and Trump did his smily face and thumbs up act) Other families are against it, and its against the law anyway, as the families have no say in the matter. Now Trump is saying that we have video evidence that there was no issues there, but its unlikely there is any evidence. But anyway, Trump had zero rights being there, as this was a political stunt, and especially what he said about the Congressional Medal of Honour medal. This was just an act, and a very disrespectful one at that. His handlers should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this. Trump has no respect for anyone buried there, and the families who agreed to this, need their head's examined.

[felter]

The US stock Market reached a new height yesterday, which must have peeved Trump off massively as he keeps on trying to bring about a crash in the US economy, as he sees that US citizens struggling helps him keep out of jail. Talking about shares, you do realise he just cannot sell his shares in truth social he has to give intent to sell first, not sure on the length of time between him announcing he intends to sell and actually selling. You know what will happen if he does that, everyone else will sell theirs first, bankrupting the company before Trump can sell his shares. So all of his shares in Trump Media & Technology group are worthless, unless he can find a buyer, which I cannot see ever happening. Saying all of that, while the stock market is booming, Trump Media & Technology group shares have hut their lowest ever price today.

[matthewfarmery]

Well, he can technically sell his shares next month, but if he has to announce that he is selling, then I not read that he has. But then again, there are some dumb people who have brought shares to support Trump, and some having sleepless nights but still won't sell. But if is forced to announce that he is selling, the share price will drop to nothing. And those that stuck with their shares will feel very betrayed. But in all honestly, it will serve them right, they should never have invested in the first place.

[matthewfarmery]

The scandal of Trump viisting Arlington National Cemetery is getting bigger. First off, it was the house speaker who strong armed / got Trump into Arlington National Cemetery, so he has some blame here. It was a woman who was shoved aside in the incident, but reports say, she afraid to press charges, as she fears Trump's cult will come after her. Vance has also put his foot in the minefield and made himself look really silly as a result.

Also, Musk is also getting involved, he putting in spam warnings to prevent anyone from accessing a certain site for farther details. So he trying to cover for Trump. If only the DOJ did its job, and Garland wasn't asleep at the wheel, then Trump will be in custody now. It's a real dishonour what Trump did, and anger is growing.

In other news, Harris will do an interview tonight on CNN, so hopefully she will do well. Fingers crossed as she needs to remain on top.

Edit

This is worrying, the supreme court has signalled what it will do if the results of the election is close,

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/202 ... ction.html

The Supreme Court signalled it would revisit an issue it had settled over a decade ago, allowing a new Arizona law to go into effect requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. So they might meddle with the results if the results are really narrow. Just more proof they are in league with the traitorous POS.

The enemy is within comes to mind.

The hypocritical religious types who support Trump are going to have to make a decision soon: continue supporting him while at the same time driving young people away from churches, or attempt to mend their ways by renouncing Trump and asking for forgiveness. One thing is clear: after their support for someone like Trump the Religious Right needs to apologize to Bill Clinton. Repeatedly and unreservedly.

The most common argument made by former President Donald Trump’s evangelical supporters in defense of their support is that although Trump may not be a moral exemplar, what matters most in electing a president is his policies. And for them, abortion is primus inter pares.

Trump’s Evangelical Supporters Just Lost Their Best Excuse

[notaterran]

The context is that Christians denounced Clinton for his affair, but have been enthusiastically supporting Trump:

The year was 1998, Bill Clinton had sullied the Oval Office with a tawdry affair, and the Southern Baptist Convention passed a Resolution on Moral Character of Public Officials.

[...]

That was then, when the Clintons were in charge. Now it’s time to Make America Great Again. New standards apply.

Oh come on... do you seriously expect the "christians" to be anything but hypocrites? It is their goal to impose their belief system on everyone else and intrude in every aspect of our lives to do so.

It's already happening... in florida and texas where those nut jobs are conducting book burnings on a regular basis but making sure their religious dogma is plastered all over schools and libraries. In Tennessee and Arizona, at least twice now within the last 8 years, they've put forth legislature to remove or extremely lower the age of consent (to like 12) which has, thankfully, been completely shot down in every attempt. But this is their attempt to marry off their daughters at a young age so they can start them having babies before they know whats going on and decide maybe motherhood isn't for them. Aside from the usual republicans are just disgusting people on that, the reasoning is also for them to try to increase the population percentages of whites in the US as they've been scared shitless now for decades since they figured out whites are on their way towards becoming a minority race in the US.

There's dozens if not hundreds more examples of them already imposing their will on the population while eroding the constitutional principle of Separation of Church and State. Point is we're able, currently, to fight back on a good bit of it. But, if they get their orange overlord in office, there will be absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop their bs... again, Project 2025... It's not a joke.

[felter]

Let's be honest here, American Christians are well not actually Christians.

Trump Praises Authoritarian Viktor Orbán and Even Republicans Are Concerned

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/p ... 235093328/

Does that surprise anyone here? What happened to rules that are suppose to prevent presidents and candidates from having outsider influence? Oh wait, the DOJ are again asleep at the wheel and Trump is above the law. That and Musk, and probably any Russian influence. Oh yes, Trump's sons are doing a new crypto currency, and there are concerns that too will be a conflict of interest, but again, why isn't anything done?? again, inept DOJ and Trump is above the law.

More reasons to keep him from the WH, and more reasons, if Trump does return, everything that America holds dear will be burnt the ground. And made a laughing stock even more. This should be a major concern, even some Republicans are questioning Orbán's influence on Trump, so why not do something about it? Worrying and worrying.

[matthewfarmery]

More needs to be done to raise awareness of Trump's mental decline, But it seems that a lot of the media seems to be covering him. But he is clearly getting worse.

This is an extract from his speech in Potterville, Michigan, even for him, this is beyond stupid

“She destroyed the city of San Francisco, it’s — and I own a big building there — it’s no — I shouldn’t talk about this but that’s OK I don’t give a damn because this is what I’m doing. I should say it’s the finest city in the world — sell and get the hell out of there, right? But I can’t do that. I don’t care, you know? I lost billions of dollars, billions of dollars. You know, somebody said, ‘What do you think you lost?’ I said, ‘Probably two, three billion. That’s OK, I don’t care.’ They say, ‘You think you’d do it again?’ And that’s the least of it. Nobody. They always say, I don’t know if you know. Lincoln was horribly treated. Uh, Jefferson was pretty horribly. Andrew Jackson they say was the worst of all, that he was treated worse than any other president. I said, ‘Do that study again, because I think there’s nobody close to Trump.’ I even got shot! And who the hell knows where that came from, right?”

The man is clearly on the verge of a mental collapse. No one should want this man in the WH, he will be far, far worse if he does get in. And he will be easy influenced, And for someone who will hold the nuclear codes, then the chief of staff and whoever else with brains will clearly see this guy will not be trusted.

Trump needs treatment, and more, the media needs to stop covering this BS up and start raising alarms over this mental decline. I'm not even sure he will even be fit for the debate? He will wildy go off script and ramble. Even those that are trying to prep him must surely realise he won't do that well at all. Even though many of the GOP are hinging on him doing well at the debate. In that extract, he doesn't make sense. He wildly went from one thing to another. I'm not even sure he really understands what he is saying anymore. Again worrying that he is still running for office, and that the GOP, the media and his cult wants him back or covering up his rabid decline.

Another thing is, over the weekend he flip flopped again on the Florida amendment vote and how he will vote on it again, while still claiming a lot of BS, without very little fact checking. (its clear that the abortion topic is a nail in his coffin, as he has no clue on how to address it)

But, it should be more and more of a concern, that this man is just not mentally fit, its about time better safeguards are in place, but I know this won't happen yet, if ever, but there needs to be better safeguards in, to prevent a lunatic from running for the top job. And any tests done, mental and phyiscal should be made public.

I still don't see how he will last until November, or do well in the debate, he just not there, and more clear signs, he isn't well at all. And high bloody time, that the media starts doing its job and calling thjs out, because if this was Biden, the news media would be all over him, and asking for him to move aside. So why isn't more of the media not pushing back on Trump? As do they really want a lunatic in office? I guess so.
